मन्वतरं तथा कल्पं महाकल्पं च षोडश । कला विसर्जनी या तु जीवमाश्रित्य वर्तते
manvataraṃ tathā kalpaṃ mahākalpaṃ ca ṣoḍaśa | kalā visarjanī yā tu jīvamāśritya vartate
Ada pula manvantara, kalpa dan mahā-kalpa, serta susunan yang berlipat enam belas. Kalā yang disebut “Visarjanī” itu berfungsi dengan bersandar pada jīva sebagai tumpuannya.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A cosmic diagram: concentric circles labeled manvantara, kalpa, mahākalpa; at the center a small jīva-flame tethered by a thread to a feminine personification of Kalā, with a gesture of ‘release’ (visarjanī).
Cosmic time-cycles are mirrored in the soul’s journey; time’s ‘releasing’ power governs transition and dissolution at multiple scales.
The Prabhāsa Māhātmya context sacralizes these cosmological teachings as part of the kṣetra’s revelation.
No direct prescription; it provides cosmological grounding for rites aimed at liberation (mokṣa) and release.
